If you take Line 5 on the Métro from Gare d'Austerlitz, you can see

the Port de l'Arsenal from the Bastille platform window.

The boat with the red awning and table

is a regular in the port.

Commercial boats, working boats,

pleasure boats, and many house boats...

all can be found in Port de l'Arsenal

between the Seine and Place de la Bastille

Take a look at James' Weekend Reflections

to see reflections from around the world.

From certain Bastille Métro platforms

you can see the boats moored in Port de l'Arsenal.

This warm September day reveals a business meeting

on the deck of a boat. The three look as if

this is "business as usual."

Seen from one of many Bastille metro platforms,

the boats anchored along Port de l'Arsenal

provide insight to life on the water.

It is just a stone's throw from Opera Bastille

and the Colonne de Juillet.

The Seine and Boats

In warm, sunny weather living on a boat

moored on the Seine seems like paradise.

I will have to remember to check out

this scene in winter as well
